Driven by both economic and environmental considerations, adaptive reuse projects are growing in popularity across the United States and make up a majority of architects’ billings in recent years. On March 26, join RECORD and three practicing architects—from Kohn Pedersen Fox, Kennedy & Violich Architecture, and Quinn Evans—who have recently completed transformative renovations. Speakers will discuss their respective methodologies and highlight specific case studies, including Michigan Central Station in Detroit, One Madison Avenue in New York City, and the Honnen Arts Club in Colorado Springs, and the economic decisions that shaped them along the way.
